What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Oh yeah, I can do the Macarena like a boss! Especially with enough dancing fuel in me. (Aka beer)

 

Do you know if that house had a slate roof on it once? It looks like there is a turret roof on the right side of the house. Are you installing cut pattern shingles to match the original?

 

Loading the mowers and lunch... my honey and I and Giz are off to the cabin to check things out, get the hay knocked down and start clearing the many tools and stuff left from the build that are still there. Porcupines have been moving closer over the last 3 years. They are the first varmits I'll be checking for. Looks like it's gonna be sunny and 50-60 this morning, maybe 70 by noon. Perfect.

 

Dont forget the camera Stinny.
Heading into work for an hour Then back to the house staining with Emma

 

Another view from my office.



I'm standing on the peak of the cupola on the boat house. Some may have seen previous pics of this house, but this is the best perch I've had yet for one.

I'll get some pics of the boat house tomorrow.

Started this yesterday with one other guy.


Going to finish today.

 

Good questions fish. Don't know all the answers but will tell you what I do know. Never a slate roof as far as I know. We had stripped a small porch roof to do some repairs and found a small bank of cedar shakes that were roofed over, I'm guessing a wood roof. And the second story walls under the windows on the right in the pic show the existing shingles. They are not a cut pattern, just a simple step pattern. Staggered 1" every other. Outside corners knitted. We call the turret a tower. Same height as 3rd flr

 

Power is out this am, just enough coals from last nights fire for coffee.

 

Have fun today Stinny. Glad you guys are getting away and enjoying that camp. Took a quick look at your camp building thread. Will check it out more thoroughly later tonight after getting some serious work done today. Have a great one!

 

I still hate you

 

Honey-do list for today

Ah, I see three skip-able items on that list, the first three, have a great day Jack.

 

Oh, it will be! You have the same in your hammock.

 

Im hauling in hay. Not my favorite job but it has to be done. Finally broke down and bought my first new TV, nice to have color again.

 

5 more minutes Chvy Burgs are done but goofed up with the corn

 

That looks really cool Pete...!

 

Pete, beer makes everything that is out of plumb and level look fine.
